Colin Charvis . . . And The South African Kit That Vanished In The Bermuda Triangle

Welshmen in Bermudas are a common sight at this time of year, whatever the weather. But what about Welsh rugby players in Bermuda? Like the shorts, they come out every year. Each November, the World Rugby Classic is held on the island for vintage rugby stars seeking fun, sun, and top quality rugby. Colin Charvis played in three tournaments and tells Graham Thomas of the appeal, as S4C prepare to dip into the archives. Colin Charvis can remember the day when he realised Old Father Time had caught up with him in Bermuda. The former Wales captain – still Wales’ fifth highest all-time tryscorer, and way out on his own as the leading forward with 22 from 94 caps – was a regular visitor to the annual World Rugby Classic, held on the subtropical island.
